The world hasn't heard a new album from New Jersey postpunk originators the Feelies since 1991's Time for a Witness. That'll change on April 12, when Bar/None releases the band's long-awaited comeback album Here Before. And up above, you can download the album's second song, the jittery and jangly "Should Be Gone". It sounds exactly like a Feelies song; the years have not done a whole lot to alter this band's sound.

Back in October, we reported that jangle rock OGs the Feelies were working on their first full-length since 1991's Time for a Witness. Well, their work is officially complete: Here Before, the first album from the Feelies in two decades, is set for release March 29 April 12 via Bar/None.

The album was recorded at Water Music in Hoboken, New Jersey (home to indie kindred spirits Yo La Tengo, in case you didn't know) and was produced by Feelies members Glenn Mercer and Bill Million. WE have the tracklist for you below, as well as the band's upcoming tour dates.

Fans of ancestral indie rock, get excited. In 2008, New Jersey postpunk pioneers the Feelies reunited to play a few shows and reissued their classic out-of-print albums. They must've liked the way things went, since they're now getting ready to release a new album, their first since 1991's Time for a Witness.

Back in 1980, New Jersey postpunk originators the Feelies dropped Crazy Rhythms, their classic debut. Crazy Rhythms was a short, sharp shock of spiky guitars and sidelong grooves, the sort of album destined to become an influential but underappreciated relic, which is exactly what happened. You can hear bits and pieces of Crazy Rhythms all over American indie rock from the 1980s, especially in the first few R.E.M. albums, but the band's history was plagued by commercial failure and frequent breakups. The LP has been out of print forever.

That's about to change. The Feelies are back together now, playing shows when they feel like it. And on September 8, Crazy Rhythms and the band's 1986 sophomore effort The Good Earth will finally be reissued. The reissues will be out on Bar None in the U.S. and Canada and Domino everywhere else. Both remastered albums will be available on CD and 180 gram vinyl, and both will come with bonus tracks.

-- It's hard to believe Bruce Springsteen-- stadium king and worldwide mega-concert icon-- has never done the granddaddy of all music festivals, Glastonbury. That will change this year when Springsteen and his E Street Band head over to England to headline this year's fest, which takes place June 26-28. According to the NME, other rumored headliners include Neil Young and Blur. The date comes in the middle of Bruce's 2009 world tour, which runs from April to August.

-- Electro-pop vets Saint Etienne-- featuring Pitchfork contributor Bob Stanley-- line-up three new UK gigs: May 13 at ABC in Glasgow, May 14 at Sheffield's Leadmill, and May 16 at Bloomsbury Ballroom in London. Their new Richard X-produced single, "Method of Modern Love", is out now. Thanks to reader Junu Kim for the tip.

-- There are so many dudes playing dance records in clubs now, it can be tough to differentiate between the one guy with the cool haircut and beard and the other guy with the cool haircut and moustache. Enter Deadmau5, who plays records in clubs while wearing a disco ball mouse head with X's over its eyes. He stands out. And the gimmick-prone DJ-producer just put out a new iPhone application that allows users to remix Deadmau5 tracks on the fly, which is cool. If, say, Daft Punk put out a similar program it would probably be cooler, though.
